Who is Marcia Weber?

Forty-nine years ago Marcia collected her first piece of self-taught art and didn’t stop.  For 33 years Marcia has directed her gallery, Marcia Weber Art Objects, Inc. which is filled with a vast collection of masterpieces by self-taught artists. The gallery has a special focus on outsider art as well as contemporary folk art.  In 2018 the gallery moved from Montgomery after 26 years there, to the heart of a historic suburb, Wetumpka, Alabama.

Marcia has enjoyed a lifelong interest in the visual arts. She taught art in public schools, was Assistant Curator of Education at the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, directed several art galleries and painted professionally after getting her Degree in Studio Painting from Birmingham-Southern College.

Marcia formed close relationships with many of the artists featured in her gallery for a number of years.  She has spent more than 36 years in the self-taught field actively documenting these artists’ lives, environments and their works of art.   Featured on All Things Considered and other National Public Radio segments, she has lectured at museums coast to coast including the American Folk Art Museum in New York as well as the High Museum in Atlanta.  Marcia’s knowledge of this field coupled with her close proximity to many of the best-known Southern self-taught artists, during their most productive years, gives her a unique perspective in this field.  She clearly enjoys the challenge of selecting masterpieces from artists’ studios and from seasoned collectors and placing them with caregivers throughout the world.
